The audio cuts out on my headset and makes my whole pc lag for a solid 10 seconds

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Nun

Please try and double check this:
"Format" for your Microphone in the sound settings for your input device

Go to Windows Settings > Navigate to Bluetooth & devices > Select Devices
Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound > Select your audio input device under Input.

In the next menu, you should see Format under Input settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)

Verify whether or not the changes solved the issue. If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format by repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.

If maybe the issue persist, try and double check this:

Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice
Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat
Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Verify that push to talk is not enabled

Finally open the Xbox app

Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page
Select Settings > Audio
Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Verify that push to talk is not enabled again

Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.

Occasionally I'll loose audio with this game too. I'll finish a match and the audio will just cut out. Very Strange. Some times it even knocks out my whole systems audio thought the stero headset. This has happened when the controller disconnects randomly
while playing game.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

If you're experiencing audio cut outs and no sound while playing Call of Duty online, here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Check your headset's battery level: If your wireless headset battery is low, it can cause audio cut outs or no sound. Charge your headset fully and see if the issue is resolved.

Check your headset's firmware: Ensure that your headset is running the latest firmware. You can do this by using the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox console or Windows 10 PC.

Check the game settings: Go to the game settings and ensure that the audio settings are correctly set to your headset.

I am also experiencing audio cut out/ stuttering. I have narrowed it down to the adapter that I am using (Windows 10 Adapter for controller). I have an Xbox Series X where I can play Warzone as a comparison. I do not get the same audio cuts outs playing on Xbox as I do on PC playing Warzone and when I disable Dolby Atmos on PC the cut out stops completely.

From what I can tell this is a support issue of the adapter to deal with the increase data to the Xbox wireless headset..... just my findings.

Update: is it possible that it is my game disc that makes it happen, even if the audio cuts only through my headset, and not through my TV ?
